Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, mister, what time does the next bus leave?
I'm a party of one outta Tennessee
I won't be back for a long, long while
Give me eighty-five dollars worth of highway mile
[Verse 2]
I ain't got no luggage as you can see
Just a whole lot of heavy memories
I was finally up for just settlin' down
Till I found out she'd been a-foolin' around
[Verse 3]
Ah, you can send me north, you can send me south
Just don't send me past my house
Don't ask me where I'm goin', 'cause I don't care
I want a ticket that'll take me anywhere but here
A ticket that'll take me anywhere but here
[Verse 4]
Well, I hear it's cold up in Saskatoon
But it couldn't be colder than our bedroom
The skies are blue down in Alabam'
But they won't be any bluer than I am
[Verse 5]
Ah, you can send me north, you can send me south
Just don't send me past my house
Don't ask me where I'm goin', 'cause I don't care
I want a ticket that'll take me anywhere but here
A ticket that'll take me anywhere but here
[Verse 6]
Ah, you can send me north and you can send me south
But just don't send me past my house
Don't ask me where I'm goin', 'cause I don't care
I want a ticket that'll take me anywhere but here
A ticket that'll take me anywhere but here
